Sunday test for Port’s “new way”
Kevin Naughton
PORT Adelaide is set to unveil its “new
way” on Easter Sunday, says club chief
executive Keith Thomas.
After a clean out of the off-field offices,
new coaching staff and the addition of
major sponsors, the Port Adelaide boss
says he now hopes to see the transition
make it onto the field of play.
“Our coaches have defined the new
Port Adelaide way,” Thomas said in a
message to supporters last night.
“Our players have applied themselves to
new methods of learning and grown as
a result of it.
“Off field, a new confidence is emerging,
and with it a greater sense of relevance
and purpose.
“No-one is getting carried away with
our progress to date, and we fully
understand that the real challenges
begin on Easter Sunday. But there can
be no denying that significant change
has occurred at Port Adelaide, and we
are better for it.”
Thomas went into great detail about
the club’s finances, admitting that
even at “the height of its powers - just a
decade ago - Port Adelaide was barely
profitable”.
While acknowledging the support of the
club’s sponsors, Thomas said the bottom
line would always be crowd numbers –
and he appealed to supporters to turn up.
“Port Adelaide needs its community to
engage with it ... we need its supporters
to become members, to go to games and
support its sponsors.
“In return, the club must accept its
responsibility to put on a good show
every week, and reward your loyalty
and support of us by providing
great interactive opportunities and
experiences.”
After a year of internal turmoil, Port
now faces the most basic test – it has to
start winning.
Easter Sunday at the MCG against the
struggling Melbourne Football Club will
define how many Port fans turn up for
its first home game.
Carlton and Richmond, meanwhile, will
open their AFL seasons in front of what
is expected to be a huge crowd at the
MCG tonight.
It’s coach Mick Malthouse’s first
premiership season game in charge of
the Blues. READ MORE
Will the winner be Istanbul?
ISTANBUL left an “excellent impression” on inspectors after
the International Olympic Committee studied the Turkish
city’s bid to host the 2020 Olympic Games.
Just as was the case following inspections of the city’s bid
rivals Tokyo and Madrid, the IOC’s evaluation committee
president Craig Reedie spoke of the candidature in glowing
terms, as the exercise’s diplomacy requires.
“ This has been extremely well organised and we have an
excellent impression of the skills and... READ MORE

deal scuttled
A PROPOSED deal between

Masters says the deal was scuttled after meetings involving
the Prime Minister Julia Gillard.

from one of its most prominent clubs may be... READ MORE
